Chapter 56: Lance POV

**“It's always times like these when I think of you and I wonder if you ever think of me.”-Vanessa Carlton**

“You know dude, you should make your move on Karma”, Jake said.
“We already talked about this”, I said, snipping my drink.
“That I am going to make a move on her”, he said.
“Again, we talked about this, Jake”, I said, annoyed.
“No, you think you can demand me as I am your employee. Karma is a wonderful woman. You are being selfish, you have Karma and Kay”, he said, and I have heard that he mentioned Kay.
“I do not have Karma or Kay. You know Kay is just a means to an end. You know that, Jake. And Karma does not see me like that”, I said.
“She looks at both of us like that. You see and feel how comfortable she is around both of us. I am telling you, know I am making my move on Karma”, he said, and I wanted to punch him.
“We make her feel safe, asshole. Is that why you insist on paying for this shopping spree you planned?”, I asked, ready to pounce.
“No, she is a nice girl who needs help. Honestly, Lance, you are not in the position to even have her. You have Kay and you are engaged to be married. If I shout my shot and she takes it, I am fine with it. But I am letting you know I am going to shoot my fucking shot. And I don’t miss”, he said in a serious tone.
“You are an asshole”, I said, pissed off.
“No, you are. Karma will be good for me. She is the kind of woman your mother keeps telling me to get”, Jake said.
“Why would you want someone I already fucked”, I said without thinking.
“We don’t know if you fucked her or not. You assume that”, Jake said.
“And what about the noises you heard?”, I asked sarcastically.
“I could have dried humped her again”, he said with a shrug.
“So, you won't mind that she did not take the morning after pills you gave her” when he said that I spit out my drink.
“You are fucking with me, right?”, I asked.
“Nope, I saw them when I was looking for the hotel directory book”, he said, and I felt like the earth had just opened up.
“Well, if you want her, go for it”, I said, pretending as if I did not care.
“Oh, now you say that is that you might have impregnated her”, he said with a snort.
“I did not impregnate her”, I said, rolling my eyes.
“Well, in nine months we will tell”, Jake said with a shrug.

The discussion ended like that. I am freaking out inside while looking like I do not have a care in the world outside. What if I did get her pregnant? Would she keep it, or would she leave it with me to raise? Would she want to raise it together? I would never have a child in this world that I am not a part of its life.

“She is ready”, Dell sang, walking towards us.
“Here, just take the card. Do not tell me the damage”, I said, looking at Jake.

Karma wants to go out tonight with Jake and Dell. I am not sure about that. Dell is gay for sure, but I know Jake might try to take advantage again. Karma is sleeping in the chair next to me. Damn, she is so beautiful. Fuck I miss Kay right now. I wonder how she is doing. We arrived at the hotel, the manager notified us that Karma's clothes were in the room untouched. Karma went to take a nap. I sat in the sitting room to text Kay.

Me: How are you today?
Kay: Good, just tired.
Me: Are you working?
Kay: Yes.
Me: Boss overworking you?
Kay: No, he is actually nice. It's just been a long day.
Me: Are you still wearing the anal plugs?
Kay: It's fine but cumming every hour or so is aggravating. I was having a conversation with a guy and the vibration started. I had to hide the urge to cum.
Me: lol, did you cum?
Kay: yes.
Me: In front of him?
Kay: No, I ran to the bathroom.
Me: Good girl.
Kay: Eye roll emoji
Me: By the time I come back you will be able to take me deep into your ass.
Kay: I can't wait.
Me: Neither can I. Ttyl.

Damn, just talking to Kay made my dick hard. If only there was a way, I could have both of them. Now don't get me wrong, Kay is an amazing person, a wonderful person in bed. I am not sure if I would be able to keep her as a mistress if I make a move on Karma. And on top of that, I need her so I can find a way to buy a brothel.

I go sometime before I have to meet my father. I e-mailed my lawyer to find out if there is any solution yet to Karma accounts being frozen. He said that her account would be unfrozen by Monday and they added twenty percent of interest to her account for two years. I told him I wanted him to tell the bank that her interest should be twenty percent until she does not want an account there. He said he would notify them.

And an e-mail from my private investigator. Apparently, Mike is opening a branch in my city. I am not sure if he did it to be closer to Karma or if it is just a coincidence. He needed to stay away from her. Something I know he will not want to do. I told my private investigator to keep an eye on him. I want to know where my office is. Where will he be staying and how far are both places from the
office and Karma's house.

I am dreading seeing my father tonight. If there is a clause in the contract, I am going to use it. Susan is not going to be Mrs. Logi. I did consider just walking away and leaving my father bankrupt. But that will leave my mother broke with him. Even though I will take care of her. She will not leave my father and I will be damned if I take care of his stupid ass.

Shaking my thoughts off, my stupid father caused this at his own fault. At some point, I have to marry someone worthy of me. I for damn sure am not going to hurt my wife the way my father did Mom. I want to marry a woman who is smart, beautiful, and not a through like Susan, carry, and want to be a mother. Just thinking about it, I feel like I am describing Karma or Kay.

“Hey, Lance, we are going to “Hush” tonight. Can you call them and tell them we need to reserve the V.I.P section”, Jake said.
“And why can't you call them?", I asked, annoyed.
“I did and they said they were fully booked. And it is company policy to not over book or cancel a reservation”, Jake said. Yeah, I am aware of that. I made that a policy that prevents my employees from taking bribes from people wanting a table in the V.I.P. section.
“You know there are other clubs in the city besides the ones owned by me”, I said.
“Yeah, but yours are the best in the city. And doesn't Karma deserve the best?”, Jake asked in a whinny tone.
“Fine, I will call”, I said, and Jake smiled happily.

I called the club and they said a party was booked for the V.I.P section. I told the manager to give them triple as a refund. And reserve the section for Lance. To say the manager was shocked is an understatement. I hope they have fun but not too much fun.

“Jake, it is done. A word of advice do not make any moves on Karma. You are my cousin and I love you, so please follow my advice”, I said, looking at him.
“You want her that badly?”, Jake asked with his arms crossed.
“It does not matter what my reason is. Just follow my advice”, I said with a low snarl.

He left and I fought the urge to punch him. I would love to go to “Hush” with them. But no, I have to go see my father. My phone rang and my mother's name popped up on the screen. Nope, there is no way in hell I am answering her call. Know her she is calling me to bitch about Susan. Who might have complained to my mother that I was not paying attention to her?

Karma brought me a sandwich. And said she finished her summary of my clubs based on the information she found on their site and search engines. She said she is impressed with the rating it gets from people ages 20-45. She said the member-only clubs have no information on them over the internet. I told her that is because none of the members are allowed to have phones in their possession. She nods then left. She looks tired. I guess she will rest before she starts to get ready.

Me: The woman with my cousin Jake tonight is to be watched.
Manager: Watched?
Me: Yeah, watch as I want no man other than Jake and the man that will be with them tonight.
Manager: And if someone other than Jake and whoever else is coming with them approach her, what am I supposed to do?
Me: Make sure it does not happen. Greet them at the door and escort them yourself to their section. Show security the picture I just sent you. And tell them to not let any man near her.
Manager: Understood Sir. Will do.

Good, now I don’t have to worry about men other than Jake trying to take her home. I have been to a party with her. But I am not sure how she acts in a club. I closed my laptop and walked to the room to take a shower. Inside the room, Karma is lying on her stomach. Her plump ass is facing me. My dick grew hard instantly. I need some pussy; I need her pussy.
